Home Dictionary Name: grandfatherly Page: 2Consanguinity, or kindred
Consanguinity, or kindred, the connection or rela-tion of persons descended from the same stock or common ancestor. It is either lineal or collateral. Lineal is that which subsists between persons, of whom one is descended in a direct line from the other, as between son, father, grandfather, great grandfather, and so upwards in the direct ascending line; or between son, grandson, great-grandson, and so downwards in the direct descending line. Collateral agree with the lineal in this, that they descend from the same stock or ancestor, but differ in this, that they do not descend one from the other. See MARRIAGE (Prohibited Degrees)....
